Skagit Wildlife Area is a gorgeous 16,700-acre wilderness wildlife habitat located just south of the city of Mount Vernon, comprised of 16 separate wildlife units. The park is known as a top bird watching area in the region, home to large populations of snow geese and tundra and trumpeter swans throughout the winter months. Visitors can access the wildlife area's nature trails from a number of access points, including its Wylie Slough, Fir Island, and Big Ditch units and two-mile Headquarters access trail. Shoreline access to the shores of Skagit Bay is offered via several dike walks throughout the park, offering stunning views of the nearby North Cascade Mountains and immense Mount Baker.
